Studying of B, N, S, Si and P Doped (5, 5) Carbon Nanotubes by the Density Functional Theory

Article Preview

Abstract:

The B, N, S, Si and P atoms doped single walled (5, 5) carbon nanotubes were studied by density functional theory B3LYP/3-21G (d) with the periodic boundary conditions. The ultra long tube models were calculated and the structures, energies and the band structures were obtained. The N, Si and S doped nanotubes have narrow energy gap with metal conductivity whereas B and P doped nanotubes have overlapped energy gaps with or semi-metal conductivity.
